This month, we decided to let our writers be intentionally cruel to their characters. And by "let", please read "gave an excuse". How did we do this? Well, we had them poison their characters. Not only once, dear readers, but twice.
Isn't that the human condition, though? To make a mistake, and then do it again, whether intentionally or not. We "poison" ourselves, suffering the consequences and either buckling under or coming out stronger. And whether our actions are literal or not, the scars are often all too plain to see.
So, this is where we ask, vial in hand, knowing full well what happened before - will you dare poison yourself? Again?

The Peddler's Apprentice - Leaving a liar in charge can be the most honest of choices.
A Poisonous Kiss - Not all affection is wanted or healthy.
Ultimus Hostis - Some consequences are worth the cost.
Four-Leaf Love - How far will one smitten fairy go to impress her girlfriend?
Horrible Things We Do To Those We Love - The things we hold the dearest are the hardest to let go.
Gobbodotes - The only way for a goblin herbalist to learn new treatments is trial and error.
Wild Ride - Every plan requires a drink to send it off.
The Only Way Out - Be careful what you choose to read. You never know where it will take you.
